Special Weather Statement issued May 30 at 5:22AM EDT by NWS Gaylord MI

Effective: Sat May 30, 2026, 5:22 AM
Expires: Sat May 30, 2026, 7:00 PM

The combination of drying fuels, low relative humidity values, and gusty winds will result in elevated fire danger conditions across northern lower Michigan today. East winds between 5-10 mph will gust to 15-20 mph at times through this afternoon. Relative humidity values between 20-30 percent are expected across parts of interior northern Michigan with the potential for localized minimum relative humidity readings in the teens. These conditions support the quick start and spread of wildfires, so be sure to take the proper precautions to prevent fires from starting.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
